I calculated how much craft supplies sit unused in the average crafter's home

I've been deep in the DIY/crafting world for years, and something always bugged me.


Every new project means a new haul — resin, molds, vinyl, fabric, specialty tools. You use them for one project, maybe two, and then they sit in a bin for months.


I did some rough math across crafter communities: the average hobbyist has $200-500 worth of supplies they haven't touched in over 6 months. Multiply that across millions of crafters and you're looking at billions of dollars in idle materials.


Meanwhile, someone three miles away is about to drop $80 at Hobby Lobby for the exact thing sitting in your closet.


That's why I built Nomira — a materials exchange for DIY crafters. Instead of buying, you borrow. Instead of hoarding, you share. No money changes hands between users — it's hobby-for-hobby.


Right now we're focused on the DIY/Cricut/resin/candle-making community, but the idea works for any craft.


If you've ever looked at your supply stash and thought "someone else could really use this," this is for you.
